“The U.S. attacked Iran’s Qeshm Island on Monday, U.S. officials said, in the latest of a series of limited strikes Washington has secretly carried out against the country in recent weeks as President Trump touted the possibility of a diplomatic deal,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The assault follows comments by Trump playing down the possibility of a return to war with Iran after Tuesday’s midterm elections. ”
Said Trump: “We had a war with Iran. We won. I don’t know if you even call it a war because we haven’t been doing any fighting for months.”
New York Times: U.S. military strikes Iran’s Qeshm Island in what U.S. officials call a defensive measure.
